Prognostic Value of Serum Uric Acid in Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients With Preserved Ejection Fraction (from the Japanese Nationwide Multicenter Registry)

Elevated serum uric acid (UA) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and worse clinical outcome in patients with cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the prognostic value of serum UA level in hospitalized heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether serum UA level on admission could be associated with subsequent mortality...
